Description

Curt Swan and Tex BlaisdellHostess Cup Cakes
Ad"The Flash in 'Marathon Madman'" Complete 1-Page
Story Original Art (DC, 1982). Of note in this story (besides
the rich chocolaty taste) is the fact that the villain is referred
to as both "Dr. Alchemy" and in the next panel as "Dr. Sorcery".
The later was with a text correction paste-up, so likely someone
noticed he did not look like the actual Flash villain Dr. Alchemy
and made an attempt to change his name (missing one instance). This
as was published in 21 DC books in February of 1982. That's
two-thirds of the titles they published that month! Crafted in ink
over graphite on Bristol board with an image area of 10" x 15". The
Flash logo, the lower caption box, and the cup cakes image are all
stat paste-ups. There is a missing copyright notation strip on the
left margin, and the one in the bottom margin is coming loose.
There is glue residue near most of these paste-ups. In Very Good
condition. From the Tex Blaisdell Archives.
